"Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid and recognized in California."
- Proposition 8
As often as I can I try to listen to the insightful American Family Association’s radio program AFA Report with Don Wildmon. On Tuesday part of the discussion involved the important ballot issue coming up in November in California. The wildly activist California Supreme Court ruled that same-sex marriage was legal effect in June, despite the fact that the majority of Californians several years ago voted by over 60% voted to protect the traditional definition of marriage.
The homosexual lobby, their advocates and supporters have incessantly pushed their agenda to the point now that we are on the brink of seeing the legalization of same-sex marriage.
Don Wildmon made the following observations on his radio show yesterday:
“California is a big dam holding back the flood waters, If the dam breaks, it floods the whole country.”
“If this (Proposition 8) fails in California, then the marriage laws that have been put on the books in state constitutions (27 states) . . . those are gone. . . and whether you like it or not homosexual“marriage” is going to be accepted from now on.
". . . Okay, we (Christian Founders and people) built this society. We came out of the Judeo-Christian perspective. We worked hard. Democracy could bloom with Judeo-Christian values. There are those who are bound and determined that they are going to tear all that down . . .
“Normally I don’t say things like this, I keep them to myself, because you can always be wrong. But, I am convinced that the outcome in California on Proposition 8 will influence America more than the presidential election . . . The most important election this year is in California with Proposition 8. If Proposition 8 is defeated . . . in California, I think basically the culture war is over and we (Christians & America) have lost . . . and Western Civilization, which came out of the mind of Christ is on its way to expire and we don’t know what it will be replaced with . . . if (Christianity) is not made illegal, there certainly will be persecution and prosecution, maybe not physically, but financially and in other ways . . . (We) will be discriminated against . . .”
The radical homosexual lobby and their leftist friends and supporters are pulling out all the stops on this one. They want to destroy traditional one-man, one-woman marriage. Take the radical elite on all levels of government in the state of California; the state’s Governor, the California Supreme Court, and California’s Congress continually defy the will of the majority of its citizens. They intend to ram same-sex marriage one way or another down the throats of the people of California and eventually on all of America.California is the place and the time to take a stand. See what lengths the homosexual activists and the destroyers of the sanctity of one-man, one-woman marriage will go to . . .
BALLOT PROPOSITION WORDING CHANGE
The original Proposition 8 language: Amends the California Constitution to provide that only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California.
The rewording: Changes California Constitution to eliminate (the) right of same-sex couples to marry. Provides that only a marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California.
Fiscal Impact: Over the next few years, potential revenue loss, mainly sales taxes, totaling in the several tens of millions of dollars, to state and local governments. In the long run, likely little fiscal impact to state and local governments.
PROPOSITION PROPONENTS TO SUE OVER POLITICAL BALLOT LANGUAGE TINKERING
The LA Times reports: “Supporters of Proposition 8, the proposed state constitutional amendment that would ban [same-sex] marriage, said they would file suit today to block a change made by California Atty. Gen. Jerry Brown to the language of the measure’s ballot title and summary.”
Isn’t Jerry Brown the former governor of California who himself is an extreme leftist? He has solidly aligned with the forces promoting same-sex marriage in defiance against the will of the majority of Californians. He apparently feels that he is above the law, he knows better than the people, and he intends to do all he can to defeat the ballot initiative.
The same-sex marriage advocates, who are desirous of destroying the sacredness and uniqueness of traditional one-man, one-woman marriage, even tried to prevent Proposition 8 from even appearing on the ballot despite overwhelming number of required signatures and meeting every deadline. They followed in the footsteps of the devious California Supreme Court, who decided to grant marriage licenses to same-sex “couples” despite request from many state attorney generals who requested that they stay the decision until after the ballot initiative was brought to the people in November. But no, they wickedly wantonly did what THEY wanted to do. This whole issue is tyranny of the few over the many. It is the blatant misuse of power.
